Parents just don't understand
Permalink  

I was talking to my sister last night and she told me a pretty funny story about my Mom who was relatively new to texting at the time.

Erica had gone to the casino for an evening and lost quite a bit, when she left apparantly she was crabby and took it out a little on my mom.

So she got home and realized she had been crabby and texted my Mom saying basically "I'm sorry I was so crabby.  I don't feel very well today.  I had a really bad day at work, some people were let go.  Then I lost more than I wanted to tonight so I'm in a bad mood"

My mom's response was a simple "LOL"

Well, Erica of course was kind of insulted and called her and asked if she even knew what LOL stands for.

My Mom said "yeah, Love You Lots, right?"

Cute story, but I hope she told her what it really meant so she does not offend anyone!

My mom always leaves voice messages without meaning to.

You can hear here telling my brother: "she must be busy, cause she's not pickin up ..." or sthg. like that

I like when my Mom leaves a message and starts it like this: "TL, this is your mother..."

Ah, duh. She has done this for years.

My mother in law had trouble with voice messages too. One time she even left her name: "Hi, this is your mom . . . [insert her name here]"

And then it made a difference how she would leave her message based on if it was me or my wife that left the greeting. If her message was for whoever currently had the greeting recorded, she would just leave the message. If the message was for the other person, she'd always say "Tell [the other person] that ......" She didn't get the concept that she wasn't really talking to us and that either of us might be picking up her message.

Mema's father would say that even when he got her on the line...."This is Donald. Your father."

It must be a parent thing. You think I don't know your voice mom? Sometimes I wonder about her.

My mom's purse dials me up from time to time. I get a message of her complete drive to the grocery store or Kohl's. I honestly don't know how she does it...she DOES have a flip phone and doesn't call me often enough from her cell to auto dial me. I think her purse just misses me. wink

rofl.gif IT'S TRUE! Actual conversation:

(ring)

Me: (looking at caller id) Hi, Dad.
Him: Uh, hi, uh... Michele. This is Don Mossey... your father.
Me: Who?
Him: Uh... Don Mossey
Me: And you say your my what?
Him: Errr.... uh... your father.
Me: Hmmm... doesn't sound familiar. So, what's up dad?

Interestingly enough, my mom doesn't talk like that when I answer the phone. Only when she leaves messages.

I just realized that my dad does something similar. I'll see him on the caller id and say, "Hi dad!" He'll reply, "Um, hi, it's your dad." The strange part is, he's pretty technologically savvy and with the times. I think he just gets nervous calling me.

I got faked out a couple of weeks ago with my called id. I answered the phone but had no idea who the person was calling. So then my friend (which I didn't recognize right away) just starts babbling. And they it finally got through my brain who it was. You know no, "hi, it's Holly." She knew she was calling from a funky number. I called her on it later.
